After trying for hours and hours, I was finally able to solve the problem and get DNS working. The major problem was the settings of the virtual box machine. Earlier I wasn't paying much attention to them but as suggested by @abdulkadir(see comments), I spent time there and got the success.

network details

network: 192.168.2.0/24
gateway/router : 192.168.2.1

Here is the solution:

first of all network settings for dns server:

network settings on the client machine:

Interface file(DNS side):

named.conf.options file:

named.conf.local file:

forward zone file:

reverse zone file:

Interface file(client side)

This setup worked absolutely fine for me. I would specifically like to mentions that I didn't make any changes to "resolv.conf", "hosts" or "hostnames" file. Some of the sources on the web were suggesting that.

Thanks.
